Stoichiometric decoupling and enzymatic responses to land-use intensification in sub-tropical soils (Phek, Nagaland)

This dataset contains the primary soil physicochemical, microbial, and enzymatic stoichiometric data used to evaluate nutrient cycling and microbial metabolic strategies across a land-use gradient in Phek, Nagaland, India. The study investigates the transition from undisturbed forests (FR) to Jhum cultivation (JH), intensive agriculture (AG), and horticulture (HR).
